Installation of Amarok
Install Amarok by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=$(kde-config --prefix) \
--sysconfdir=/etc/kde \
--disable-debug \
--disable-dependency-tracking &&
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install
Command Explanations
--prefix=$(kde-config
--prefix): This parameter uses kde-config to establish the
prefix of the existing KDE installation and then sets the
installation prefix for Amarok to
the same value.
--disable-debug: This
option causes the package to be compiled without debugging code.
--disable-dependency-tracking: This
option speeds up one time builds.
--without-included-sqlite:
This option forces the use of a system-installed copy of
SQLite.
--enable-mysql: This option
enables use of a MySQL database
for music collections.
--enable-postresql: This
option enables use of a PostgreSQL
database for music collections.
Support for other optional dependencies may require passing options
to the configure
script. Refer to the output from ./configure --help for additional
information.
